Motivate Athletes with a State Meet Preview

State Championship meets are just around the corner (Alaska already had theirs), and you can be sure that your team's competition is already looking for every possible advantage in their effort to reach the podium.

Athletic.net can help you analyze the competition and determine which teams you will be competing with in the overall team standings. This is true whether you are hoping to improve upon your 7th place finish last year, or take home the championship trophy!

Watch a 90 second video on how to create your own custom list where you can view both athlete rankings and team hypothetical meet scores.

Alaska State Meet Preview vs. the Official Results!

By clicking one of those blue 'Create My Own List' buttons, you can set up a hypothetical meet preview for any list of teams that you are interested in. Those buttons are located on all rankings and hypothetical meet pages. Additionally, each of your team pages has links to create new custom lists.

Check out the below scenario where I created custom lists that included just the 11 teams that qualified for the Boys & Girls 1A/2A/3A Alaska State Cross Country Championships. I set up the Boys list here and the Girls list here. Next, I compared the hypothetical team scores from those lists with the official team scores from the 2013 ASAA State Championships, here.

The hypothetical scores vs. the official team scores are scarily similar...

Most notable was the flip-flop between the girls 2nd and 5th ranked positions and the official team scores. 4A girls, Lathrop HS, entered the meet ranked second, while the Soldotna HS was sitting in the fifth position. However, as you can see below, almost every single Soldotna athlete PR'd in the same race where only one Lathrop girl had a season record (no PR's).

Ranked 5th - Placed 2nd

Ranked 2nd - Placed 5th

A competitor is an individual who contends in at least one games that include physical quality, speed or perseverance. The use of the term to the individuals who take part in different exercises, for example, horse riding or driving, is fairly disputable. Competitors might be experts or beginners. www.assignmentglobe.com
